Many Oregon students are hearing Scottish bagpipe music for the first time as they walk across campus during the after noons or evenings. The music is provided by Homey Armes, fresh man in music education. Armes got his 50-year-old ivory and African Blackwood ’pipes last week and has been practicing quite regularly out nl the cemetery. He often has quite a large audience. Armes and Dick Harper, an other freshman in music educa tion, are both members of a 30-piece bagpipe band which practices every Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Carlson, Hatton and Hay Garage in downtown Eu gene. Harper, however, does not have his own set of bagpipes yet. To be a member of the "band,’’ according to Armes, one must spend from six months to a year on a "practice chanter" before playing the 'pipes. Armes said that he has been practicing since the middle of August. Many residents of Susan Camp bell hall and the Vets’*dormitory were awakened Sunday morning when.Armes, a Eugene resident, began the first of his practice sessions out by the tombstones. “Some of the (music) profes sors don't likt it,” Armes said when asked how bagpipe playing fitted into his music studies. “They put iip with it, at least for the time being.” Harper and Armes, both of Scottish descent, are members of the Clans MacFarlane and Bu chanan, respectively.

Called an aerosoloscope, it can count germs, dust and moisture f particles in the air. It was de veloped at the Army’s bioligical warfare center at Camp Detrick, Md. The gadget can count micro scopic particles- germs, dust, radioactive particles—at the rate of 10 per second. Particles ranging in size from one micron (forty millionths of \ an inch) to 64 microns can be counted and measured "one thou- i sand times faster than by the: ordinary method of collecting j them in a medium or an a suit- j able surface and examining them ; through a microscope.” Concentrations of airborne par- | tides up to 15,000 per milli- j meter are drawn through the ! instrueent, each particle being j individually illuminated. symphonies, and abstract musical pieces. His "Ballet Meeanique” evoked a storm of controversy when it was first performed at Carnegie hall in 1927. Antheil began his musical ca reer as a concert pianist in 1922. He later was assistant music di rector of the Berlin State theater and holds the honor of being the first American-born musician to hold this position. He returned to the United States in 1933 to be come music director for Easter Paramount studios, and later worked as a composer at the Hollywood Paramount studios and at Columbia studio.

Goodies Grumble; 'Gotch Falls' Falls SALEM —Marion county has more Gooches than it has Catches, so a resolution to name a waterfall "Admiral Thomas L. Gatch falls” lies dead in com mittee. Sen. Lee Ohmart, Salem, spon sor of tire measure, is happy, too. Killing it means that the Gooches will get off Ohmart's neck. Ohmart said that after he in troduced the resolution, the Gooches descended upon him in • force, protesting that these falls have been called "Gooch falls” for almost a century. The senator said he was even afraid to go home at night. One night, he said, he found a Gooch on his doorstep waiting to pro test. The Senate Resolutions com mittee tabled the measure Tues day, deciding to let the US For est Service name the falls. Both the Gooches and the Catches are pioneer Marion coun ty families. The waterfall is near Marion lake, in the Cascades. The late Admiral Gatch, a na tive of Salem, commanded the USS South Dakota in World War II, and then was judge advocate of the Navy. After the war, he practiced law in Portland. US Aesthetics Dates Century, Pepper Says Wherever man is there is cul ture, said Stephen C. Pepper, chairman of the department of philosophy at the University of California, in the browsing room lecture Wednesday night. The topic of the lecture was "The American Heritage in Aes thetics." Pepper said in his speech to a capacity crowd that “the culture of the Indians jjidn't effect the culture of the colonial man. The Indians figured as little more than an obstacle to the Amer icans.’’ "Only about 100 years ago did Americans decide to enjoy living for living’s sake alone, and not for personal gain," Pepper stated. “Thoreau was the first self-con scious American in regard to aesthetics. He had perceptiveness and appreciation of the natural landscapes and the busy indus trial cities.” Thoreau revolted against the convential articles of beauty, Pepper added. He perceived beau ty from what was at hand. Pepper has been with the Uni versity of California since 1919, and is the author of six books. His latest published book, en titled "A Digest of Purposive Values,” was written in 1947. He has recently written a book en titled "On the Work of Art,” which will be published soon. Discussion leader for the lec ture was Bertram Jessup, pro fessor of philosophy. This lecture was the last in the series of lectures given in conjunction with the Festival of Arts, and also was the last browsing room lecture of the term.
